Seattle Aquaduck

Today was the best. We went in the Seattle Aquaduck for a 90 minute tour of the city and waterways of Seattle. To say this is fantastic is an understatement of the century. I loved it!!! Our tour commentator was a standup comedienne she changed hats and music continually. We sang Gilligans Island and Willie Nelson songs we blew whistles called quackers, interacted with pedestrians and construction workers. When caught in a traffic jam as a result of an accident we bounced a big Nemo stuffed fish around above our heads. The commentary was fast, unbelievable funny and highly informative. We saw the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat, had a drag with another duck. Wove in and out of kayaks, where our guide switched the music to jaws music for their benefit and told them "There gonna need a bigger boat" 

she ragged the Aussies on board.
The Sleepless in Seattle Houseboat is under those flags to the bottom left of this frame.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to everyone visiting Seattle.
We parked near the Space Needle and wandered through the beautiful green space with gardens, interactive play areas and sculpture. Dogs played frisbee and ball with their owners and each other. It was so peaceful and quiet and green. We had no trouble driving around the city. 
I found this squirrel and whistled him up. Got a full minute of video of him playing and coming over to me.
We wandered around the space needle and saw lovely gardens with musical features, a glass studio, and fun statues.
Then back to gas works park to watch Seattle take to the afternoon sunset in yachts.
A drive back to the hotel revealed snow capped mountains.
Stumbled upon a Chinese restaurant this is an entree for 2, the meal was fab
Wontons, spring rolls beef kebab, chicken in paper, roast pork, prawn cutlet followed by hot n sour soup(divine) and asizzle  plate of beef with vegetables and pork fried rice. So so good.

Back to the hotel for a bath and a lovely sleep. Canada tomorrow.
